- var _epoch = floor(date_create_datetime(1970, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0));
+ var _epoch = floor(date_create_datetime(1971, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0));

At gm_pulse Create Event, line 822

Not sure why but when trying to take a screenshot it will crash, changing 1970 to 1971 fixed it, maybe it’s because of the timezone.

Huh, thanks for sharing this, I've never seen that before. Glad it's an easy fix. Would you mind sharing your GM version?

IDE v2024.6.1.160 Runtime v2024.6.1.208

Yeah, it works for me so I guess it must be a time zone related difference? That is unexpected behavior from GM though, that shouldn't fail. Does it produce any kind of error?

Yeah, it crashes the game.
